The album opens with something that sounds like a medieval get-together with music, wine and people chatting. But soon the darkness comes and strange, mythical sounds seem to appear from deep in the forest. There are creatures there. Dark, frightening beasts, possibly sent up from the deepest regions of hell; spawned by all that is malevolent, vile and rotten about mankind. They're coming and there's no escape.
Kzohh is a black metal band from Ukraine and Russia, formed in 2014. Members have had some experience in different bands before and throw all of their influences into one massive album. Traditional black metal, mixed with dark ambient, doom and post-metal elements causes an intense listening experience. Above that, there's a number of unidentified sounds and noises presents, enhancing the strange atmosphere.
So do the vocals by the way. It were those I was listening to when I wrote about the strange animals lurking in the forest. There are some typical black metal screams, a huge number of eerie cries and scary narrative vocals. All of them add a lot to the crushing, dark feeling of the album, which of course is a tremendous plus. These guys definitely seem to take the black metal genre to another level.
Another surprising and simply awesome element is formed by the elaborate ambient passages, sometimes with screams from tortured people. In 'Massebegravelser' those passages are being alternated with intense doom and black metal, making the whole almost supernatural and alienating. This truly is a strange piece of music, the entire album is. Yet, I would definitely recommend checking this out. It's one of the most original, haunting and downright evil things I've heard this year.
